Eric Trump-linked robotics firm expands combat deployments to Israel after Ukraine trial
Foundation Future Robotics, backed by Eric Trump, deployed its Phantom MK 1 humanoid robots to Ukraine in February and is now in talks to supply up to 1,000 units to Israel for tunnel operations. Co-founder Mike LeBlanc predicts robots will handle most major combat within a decade, though he acknowledges human oversight remains essential. The company faces political scrutiny over its ties to the Trump family and a $24 million Pentagon contract.
